MORROW MOUNTAIN STATE PARK GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 3 HAW

I. MISSION AND PURPOSE

General Management Plans:

The North Carolina General Statute 143B-135.52 requires each park to have an individual General Management Plan. As required, these plans seek to identify an individual parks purpose as a unit within the larger parks system and provide an analysis of the parks major resources and facilities. The General Management Plan also identifies current and future needs of the park and prioritizes a list of proposed projects intended to meet those identified needs. These plans are considered living documents, recognizing the various and dynamic factors which influence the planning process. Each park’s GMP is scheduled to be revisited every five years, or sooner if needed, to reflect the direction and vision of the State Parks Division.

State Parks Mission

The 1987 State Parks Act also defines the purpose of the state parks system is within the mission statement. It establishes that: the State of North Carolina offers unique archaeologic, geologic, biologic, scenic and recreational resources. These resources are part of the heritage of the people of this State. The heritage of a people should be preserved and managed by those people for their use and for the use of their visitors and descendants.

Park Overview:

Located in the central region of the State, within 2 hours drive of the urban centers of Raleigh and Charlotte, Morrow Mountain State park is 110 miles west of Raleigh and 45 miles east of Charlotte and 75 miles south of Triad region.

Morrow Mountain can be accessed by U.S. 27 from Charlotte, and US 1/Interstate 64 from Raleigh, Interstate 73 from Greensboro. The theme of the park is the unique archeological experience and rugged terrain within proximity to Uwharrie National Forest. Town of Badin provides a small-town experience.

Nestled into the western side of the Uwharrie National Forest, Morrow Mountain State park is just an hour drive from Charlotte and Greensboro.

PARK PURPOSE:

Morrow Mountain was made a state unit to protect the natural resources, water quality protection, interpretive historical sites and provide passive and active recreational opportunities.

The pinnacle of Morrow Mountain State Park are erosional remnants formed over hundreds of millions of years. In 1935, local advocacy to establish a State Park led to state legislation that authorized the Stanly County Board of Commissioners to issue bonds for the purchase Community building is used for office space event and meeting space

of park land. Once the land was acquired, it was transferred to the State of North Carolina for development, management and administration. Over 1,800 acres were donated to the State by 1935 through this process, creating the park. Early park development was undertaken by Great Depression Era programs such as: Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and Works Progress Administration (WPA).

The most significant geological resources are the monadnocks, which are low mountains composed of extrusive igneous rock and capped with meta- rhyadacite, commonly known as rhyolite, an erosion- resistant rock of volcanic origin. Morrow Mountain is one of the tallest of several monadnocks that are remnants of the topography and geology of the ancient Uwharrie Mountains. One of the largest prehistoric quarries in North Carolina is found along the Mountain Loop Trail at the summit. Argillite, a rock often mistaken for slate, is found in many low areas, particularly along stream beds where it has been Museum located near the office, was constructed out of argillite stone mined in the park exposed by erosion. Meta-basalt and meta-gabbros make up the boulder fields found on the western side of the park.

Significant biological resources include high quality plant communities, diverse and abundant wildlife populations, and habitat for the bald eagle. The park protects a 1,400-acre registered natural area containing five plant communities: piedmont monadnock forest, dry-mesic oak- hickory forest, mesic mixed hardwoods (piedmont subtype), and piedmont/coastal plains heath bluff, and piedmont/low mountain alluvial forest. The natural communities represent the diverse forest ecosystem.

Significant archaeological resources include both prehistoric and historic features. The hard, fine-textured rhyolite was valued by Native Americans for making tools and points, and the park protects one of the most significant prehistoric quarry sites in the southeastern United States. The Lowder Ferry site located by the boat house was partially excavated by Joffre Coe in 1949 and holds potential for future archeological studies. The park also contains prehistoric camps, villages, Boathouse overlooking Pee Dee is a destination area for burial grounds, and seasonal fishing sites. the park. Significant historic resources include the site of early ferry service crossing the Yadkin and Pee Dee rivers, the home site of physician and horticulturalist Dr. Francis Kron, and rural farmsteads, homesites and graveyards.

II. HISTORY

The discovery of artifacts in the area attests to the presence of Native Americans 12,000 years before European settlement. European colonization began along the banks of the Pee Dee River in the 1700’s. A public ferry was established by the 1760’s and was an integral part of the Salisbury Fayetteville Market Road. Development of the park began in the 1930s through the efforts of a local committee interested in establishing a state park in the area. By 1937, more than 3,000 acres of land had been acquired, much of it was donated by the citizens of Stanly County. The park was opened to the public in the summer of 1939.

Early development of park property was a cooperative effort between state and federal governments. Work crews of the Civilian Conservation Corps and the Work Projects Administration constructed many of the facilities from 1935 to 1941. Additional facilities were constructed with State funds in the 1950’s and 1960’s.

The homestead of Dr. Francis Kron, who was born in Prussia and immigrated to America in 1823, is located at the foot of Fall Mountain in the park. He is recognized as the first medical doctor to settle and practice medicine in the

southern piedmont region of North Carolina. He was a noted horticulturalist that grew a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, and flowers. He conducted many experiments grafting trees, an innovative technique at the time. His home, doctor's office, infirmary, and greenhouse were reconstructed in the 1960’s and represent the historical context of the 1870's.

Morrow Mountain Trail: This 2.60 mile out and back trail connects the parking lot at the park office to picnic area on top of Morrow Mountain. This trail utilizes portions of four (4) other trails: Backpack Trail, Laurel Trail, Sugarloaf Mountain Trail, and Mountain Loop Trail which are connected by the Morrow Mountain Trail. It is an easy trail, except for a steep section which ascends, or descends the summit of Morrow Mountain for a quarter mile.

Mountain Loop Trail: This 0.80-mile loop trail circles the top of Morrow Mountain, the highest point in the park and Stanly County. Rock debris from thousands of years of pre-historic quarrying can be found along the trail. Native American Indians used this rock, called rhyolite, to make spearheads, knives, axes and scrapers.

Quarry Trail: This 0.60-mile loop trail located near the Mountain Loop Trail swimming pool. The trail is a “Kids in Park Track Trail”, featuring interpretive examples of stream crossings and a historic quarry site.

Rocks Trail: This 1.30-mile out and back trail is an easy hike that ends at a 35-foot-high rock outcrop overlooking the Pee Dee River.

Sugar Loaf Mountain Trail: This 2.80-mile Sugarloaf Mountain Trail ascends the second highest peak in the park at 858’ above sea level. During winter months, the mountaintop provides scenic views of the Yadkin River and surrounding countryside. The trail is rocky and rugged in places and more challenging than many of the other trails.

Three Rivers Nature Trail: This 0.80-mile trail is named for the confluence of the Uwharrie River, which joins the Yadkin River, then changes names and becomes known as the “Pee Dee River”, creating an intersection of three rivers. Floodplain trees, such as river birch and sycamore, can be found in low areas while the ridgetop is dominated by trees such as the Chestnut oak and American beech communities.

RR PROJECT A: CABIN RENOVATIONS (5) Cabins need to be updated due to cramped bedrooms, and old construction practices. Cabin #6 was recently updated to accessible design standards.

RR PROJECT B: BATHHOUSE/SHOWERHOUSE RENOVATONS (3) Existing shower houses in Loop A , B and Group Campground were constructed in 1960’s. The stalls and showers need to be update to standard accessible compliance and construction practices.

RR PROJECT C: SWIMMING POOL RENOVATIONS Swimming pool needs to update HVAC system, redesign the concessions area and provide adequate storage space.

RR PROJECT D: SUMMIT OVERLOOK IMPROVEMENTS

The overlook needs to be removed and replaced with recycled plastic timber boards and new railings. The overlook has major safety concerns and the railing is deteriorating. The accessible complaint and expanded overlook area will provide an opportunity for events or gathering space.

RR PROJECT E: TRAIL IMPROVEMENTS

Approximately 5-10 miles of trails need re-routes evaluated and constructed to sustainable trail design and construction practices. Several pedestrian bridges, such as Fall Mountain Trail, needs to be replaced along with stabilization of sections that boarders the edge of Yadkin River. Reroute steep sections of the Hattaway Mountain Trail and Sugarloaf Mountain Trail or install stone steps. Reroute and repair eroded areas on Short Loop bridle Trails

RR PROJECT F: ROAD IMPROVEMENTS Additional directional NCDOT and wayfinding signs need to be installed for efficient circulation pattern. Staff will coordinate with NCDOT to upgrade park access road to standard design standards.

RR PROJECT- G. Equestrian parking Lot improvements This gravel parking lot needs to be re organized based on safety, circulation pattern, provide adequate designated parking spaces and split rail fencing to enclose the space. Equestrian road alignment needs to be perpendicular to main park road.

EQUESTRIAN PARKING

MORROW MOUNTAIN STATE PARK GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 26 HAW

GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLAN - PROJECT LIST

1. Camper Cabins and Proposed shower house at Campground C

As camper cabins become more main stream in parks through the country and North Carolina, the demand is increasing for these facilitates. This project will include: the installation of 8 camper cabins, a newly constructed shower house, storm drainage improvements, and internal road improvements to “Loop C” campground.

2. Water system inventory and analysis by Consultant The water system for this park is outdated and not efficient. The reservoir system is over 50 years old and is a costly maintenance issue for the park. A SUE (Subsurface Utility Engineering) survey is needed to fully understand the issues associated with all (electric, water, and sewer) utility systems and a feasibility study needs to be completed to evaluate volume/usage/current and future capacity of system.

3. Water and sewer improvements

The water and sewer infrastructure of the park needs to be upgraded to current standards. This will be based on staff priority and feasibility. Additional funding sources will be evaluated due to escalating cost of construction.

Reservoir zones include: • Summit Water system needs replacement of distribution lines from the reservoir to the toilet building and drinking fountains.

• Residence water system has poor water quality. The distribution system and new 2” PVC lines to the summit area well house needs to be replaced.

• Boathouse water system needs to increase size of pipe to minimum of 1.5” dia. PVC of distribution system (min. 300 lin. feet).

• Swimming Pool reservoir needs the installation of chain link fencing around the perimeter and installation of a pier to the intake pipe.

After the SUE survey is completed, on order to determine the infrastructure and capacity improvements. Then the infrastructure of the park needs to be upgraded to current standards. Most of the system is over 50 years old and dates to the late 1930’s.

MORROW MOUNTAIN STATE PARK GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 27 HAW

Sewer upgrades: Morrow Mountain has 15 different sewer systems ranging in size from 1,000 gallons to 7,500 gallons. Tree root infiltration and paper clogging the system have caused significant damage to the system. Scope of work includes: Drain field replacement and new manhole risers.

Water upgrades: The park is served by four separate water systems, with each system having minimum one or more 6” diameter water wells for the water supply. The distribution system is composed of either PVC, galvanized or transit pipe. Majority of the distribution piping is inefficient, aged and needs to be replaced. The Hattaway system, needs replacement of three miles (15,840 lin. ft) of waterline and valves. The study of a 50,000-gallon concrete reservoir needs internal structural repaired due to significant use and age. This system has exceeded the expected facility lifespan.

4. Road Improvements at central section of park

Due to hazardous traffic circulation issues, staff will coordinate with NCDOT for design and construction of a T- intersection for efficiency and safety. The visibility and sites lines are difficult on the inner section. Scope of work includes: grading, directional signs, paving, widened road for larger vehicles.

5. Trail connecting from campground, cabins, lodge and pool Due to safety concerns and circulation issues, a paved concrete walkway needs to be installed to connect the existing cabin access road to the pool. Minimal grading and storm drainage will be integrated into the design and construction of this walkway.

6. Proposed shelter at Pool Area The kiddie pool needs to be removed and/ or filled in due to high maintenance issues. The facility is not accessible compliant and would take extensive construction to make it code compliant. The pool area has significant use over 3 months during the summer. A proposed shelter will provide an additional amenity, shade and ‘outdoor classroom’ for programs and interpretation.

7. Stonework improvements (Bridges, Kron Parking, Pool parking lot, boathouse)

Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) style walls includes: walls, bridges, curbing and walkways have deteriorated to the point that it poses safety hazards to visitors. Repairs need to be made to prevent further deterioration. Stone curbing can be protected by installing concrete wheel stops to act as a barrier.

The existing rock stadium seat wall located on the west side of the pool deck needs to be graded for positive drainage and install a wall cap to enclose the structure and prevent vandalism.

MORROW MOUNTAIN STATE PARK GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 28 HAW

8. Parkwide Internet connection Parkwide internet service is needed to improve the camping experience, improve administrative staff duties and provide adequate emergency response for operational services. Improved internet service is also needed at concession facilities including the swimming pool and boathouse for collecting revenue. The pool is a cash-only facility and the boathouse has satellite internet that only works when weather conditions permit. The current system at the office fails regularly, impairing the ability for staff to properly perform their job duties. The internet was down for 22 consecutive days during summer of 2018, which is prime season for revenue generation for the park.

9. Phase 2: Group Camp Road Improvements The group camp road is very narrow and has side slopes of 3:1. Significant grading is needed with possible retaining wall and slope stabilization measures. The road needs to be widened from 12 feet wide to 25’ wide.

10. Byles Road Improvements This proposed project includes paving improvements due to age and use. This route is needed to access the future Alcoa property. The project scope and costs will be adjusted for work that is undertaken by NCDOT road maintenance funds. This route is listed in the emergency response and evacuation plan as the evacuation route, however this route is currently impassible.

11. Additional Five (5) Camper Cabins in Loop A or B Loop A or B need to be updated for consistency after loop C is completed. Staff will evaluate the ‘opportunity sites’ in each loop area based on location of utilities, circulation, feasibility and use.

12. L-Proposed Byles Campground A land dependent primitive type campground will be constructed with access off the main entrance road. This will allow campers to leave after park hours and use future improvements and trails in the northern section including Alcoa Tract.
